<br />APPENDICES <br /> <br />Preface <br /> <br />The information contained in Appendices II and III on absolute and conditional <br />water rights was obtained from tabulations entitled "Water Rights by Location," <br />dated July 1, 1984, provided by the Colorado State Engineer. The listings of <br />absolute and conditional water rights were prepared using these tabulations in <br />conjunction with large-scale Forest Service maps depicting the wilderness <br />boundaries of the 24 wilderness areas named in the Second Amended Complaint. <br /> <br />The information regarding land ownership was compiled using maps of the various <br />National Forests and verified by the Regional Office Lands staff using land <br />status maps and records. Suitability for water resource development was <br />determined using National Forest maps, U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps, <br />and in some cases, aerial photographs and personal knowledge of National Forest <br />and Ranger District personnel. <br />
